I wonder: would Apple allow you to submit a few different copies of the app, with different prices?

No. Not unless they had different feature sets.

They did at least once. I used to use an App called Zuginfo which was splitted into a normal free and a "Donation" version which was advertised to further development. (This app by an Indie was later killed by Deutsche Bahn.)

> I just want to make as much as people want to give me
The usual way to do this is to release the app for free and put a (PayPal) donate button on your page...

Maybe you could do this with in-app purchases. Make the app free and include different items that people can buy for different prices. I'm not sure what that items should be, but I'm sure you can figure out something.
(Again, though, I'm new to this: I'll definitely take your advice for the future, if I do another "open source but paid" app.)
